9 Excuses from the lion-killer lady

Melissa Bachman, a Minnesota-based TV host and hunting star sparked outrage a few days ago when she posted the this picture of herself, posing with a lion she had just shot and killed in South Africa. The photo has gone viral and inspired a global petition to have Bachman banned from the country. Bachman, not backing down, has released the following 9 excuses:

– “That lion was working to acquire a weapon of mass destruction”

– “Relax, it wasn’t a real lion. It was just a guy in a lion costume.”

– “That lion was headed straight for New York City.”

– “Plan to donate remaining uneaten carcass to cast of the ‘Lion King'”
